The emotional swing of losing your job. What to do next.
Posted by Bill Morgan on August 21, 2009
Just lost your job? "Your job is to now find a job"
It doesn't seem like it but you have just been given a golden opportunity.
You have the chance right now to remake yourself and make your life even
better than it ever had been. This is an exhilarating time of your life
though it seems like the worst. Seize this moment but first you must go
through the Change cycle.
Every individual who has lost a job goes through generally the same phases
of emotions that involves a changed in your life. Denial, Resistance,
Exploration and Commitment. This is a standard model used all over the world
to address various changes in life but it's important you recognize that
what you feel, no matter the emotion, is very normal.
The trick is getting through your feelings ASAP and move on to exploration
and commitment. Denial and Resistance only hinders your abilities to move
on. Exploring and committing to the change creates an excitement that allows
you to move forwards.
image001 The emotional swing of losing your job. What to do next.
Let's take a look at this emotional curve..
In the Denial stage, you go through a number of emotions: anger, fear,
disappointment, etc. it's normal, your life just changed and you have to
think through all the things this affects. This can take days to fight
through but you have to conquer any bitterness, hatred, anger, fear. Don't
let it eat you.
Resistance is a by-product of Denial. You hate to think of a new job, new
career, new location, new industry. You resist opening your mind to new
ideas, challenges, opportunities. Perhaps you always saw yourself doing what
you've been doing; selling cars, running a PR company, President of a
company, and you think that now that is all gone.
In my own life I've been through this all. I was a VP of Sales and lost my
job when everything was going well. Early in my career, my father died so I
moved to be closer to my mother. I started a manufacturing business, one of
my big dreams. Due to cash flow we had to sell it and start over.
If you've played sports, counted on a sale that didn't happen or got a bad
grade in school, you have learned that you can't just lie there in the dirt
and cry. You have to get right up and address the problem. Same with your
life now.
Save the Honey-Do List. Now is not the time for that. First file for
unemployment, your attorney, call the insurance companies, credit companies
and get that out of the way. Don't dwell on this stuff, just get it done.
DO IT NOW! After the basics are done, Tomorrow morning you shower and get
ready for work like you normally would. Go to work the same time only this
time instead of the office you are going to your computer. IT'S TIME FOR
EXPLORATION AND COMMITMENT.
Your first week can look like the following:
* Day One - Identify your Dreams, Goals, Ambitions. Write them down,
be adventurous, think of what you could be or want to be. Have fun with
this.
* Day Two - Begin outlining the companies, jobs, industries you
believe will allow you to realize those dreams. Do you dream of working from
home, owning your own business, changing professions? Dream it, write it
down.
* Day Three - Get specific. List the companies, the positions, the
areas you want to live. Not generally but specifically.
* Day Four - Begin your resume or business plan. Use the many internet
tools available to do this. It's very difficult, even for me, and I'm in the
staffing business looking at hundreds of resumes monthly.
* Day Five - Recap the week and take some time off. It's been a
stressful week. Monday you get to the job of contacting these companies. You
are now in Sales and you are the product and you being Committing yourself
to the search.
It's important you take the time for yourself as well during this time
period. Enjoy your wife, your children. Take a trip and do some things you
won't do otherwise. Use this time to make it one of the best time of your
life. Explore all the things you could be doing and commit yourself
immediately to the search.
Oh, and that Honey-Do List.. it'll be there between interviews as you move
on to your next career move.

5 Ways to Utilize LinkedIn in 2010 To Find A Job

Do you understand everything LinkedIn can do for you? Start the new year off
right with these five tips to help you get even more from the business
networking service.
Technorati Claim Code G2VAZX5A62JS
As the economy plummeted in 2009, LinkedIn's popularity skyrocketed.
LinkedIn grew to more than 53 million members and announced partnerships
with IBM <http://press.linkedinlabs. > ,com/linkedin- partners- ibm-lotus- notes
Microsoft
<http://blog.linkedin. >com/2009/ 11/18/linkedin- microsoft- outlook-connecto r/
and Twitter <http://www.cio.com/article/ > . If you're on the hunt for507288
a new job-or just looking to ramp up your activity and connections-start the
new year off right with these five tips to help you get more from the
business networking service.
1. Groups. Actively participate in a handful of groups related to your
professional interests to expand your network. Find "Groups" on the
navigation bar. From here you can search for a group to join, manage your
groups or start a new one. Groups will keep you updated with
industry-related information, plus they function as a forum where you can
propose and answer questions, helping you become a recognizable name.
2. Company Buzz. Under "More..." choose "Application Directory". This will
bring you to a page with a number of applications
<http://www.cio.com/article/ > that you can add to your homepage and458039
profile. The "Company Buzz" tool aggregates mentions of a company from
Twitter, allowing you to discover relevant trends and comments about your
company. The tool lets you customize and modify the topics to watch and
displays charts to track activity. "A lot of people who use Twitter don't
know where they can see what's trending, so this is a great application for
that," says Eve Mayer Orsburn <http://www.twitter.com/linkedinquee > , CEOn
of Social <http://www.socialmediadelivered. > Media Delivered, a socialcom/
media consultancy.

617-580/80;0/0/0;;~aopt= 2/1/1d/0; ~sscs=%3f> Click here to find out more!3.
Recommendations. These blurbs from your coworkers make your LinkedIn profile
more dynamic and bring more credit and validity to your profile. Career
experts recommend <http://www.cio.com/article/ > that you seek481496
recommendations from your coworkers, former managers, direct reports and
even clients. Shorter tends to be better; one or two paragraphs will
suffice.
4. Events. "Not enough people use events," Orsburn says. "It's a great way
to find and connect with new people." Under "More..." choose "Events". Here
you can view events (including webinars) that your connections are
attending, search popular events and find ones to attend. Orsburn recommends
searching for a person you admire and looking through the events he or she
is attending. This will give you a good sense of which conferences or events
are worth attending, and will help you build more meaningful
<http://www.cio.com/article/ > connections.453116
5. Advanced People Search. Try using this search method instead of the basic
search when looking for new connections. The "Advanced People Search" allows
you to find contacts based on geographic area, company, keyword, industry
and more. Advanced People Search also gives you the option to search based
on when users joined LinkedIn, which Orsburn says can be especially handy.
"One of the best ways to find people who can help you is to help them
first," she says. "When you use this function to find someone who's a new
member to LinkedIn, you can introduce yourself, mention that you see this
person is new and offer to introduce them to some of your contacts." You can
find this feature under "More..." in the navigation bar.

5 Ways to Get The Job Experience You Need
Posted by Bill Morgan on March 1, 2010
I was speaking with a young lady the other day who shared with me her dream
was to be a Web Designer. She explained that she answered ads that
promised $60,000+ salaries if she got her degree in Web Design. After
getting the training, she went on interviews and was told 'She Was Not
Qualified' for the job. After a number of unproductive interviews, she had
to get a job and went into Insurance Sales. She has not gone back to her
original dream.
How about you? Do you ever get caught in that 'Catch-22'? You have the
Education, but not the Experience? When you write your resume that section
under 'WORK HISTORY' looks as empty as a beach at 6am?
Well, we can fix that. There is a way for you to follow your dream and get
the necessary experience you need in any work environment.
Not QualifiedBelow are several ways for you to get the experience you need
but it will take some initiative on your part. For simplicity, I'll stick
with the web designer who needs experience but you can use the same strategy
with many careers.
1. Contact your church and let the pastor, priest, rabbi you wish to
assist on their web and marketing promotions. Most churches are awful on
on-line activities and they will most likely jump at the help.
2. You and your friends can create a cause or sell something online.
Buy a domain and create your own website. You can go to www.GoDaddy.com
<http://affiliate.godaddy.com/ redirect/ 23DB81010D3876E9 E35D07EAED9A493E 6DB50
22EC1B8BC82B3B22182A5EC5E19> for example and purchase a domain.
3. Contact your local United Way. They work with many of your local
non-profits. Here is the National URL and find out your local group.
http://www.unitedway.org/worldwide/ Have them direct you to a local charity
or non-profit that could use your help on their web design and web
development. You can even create an online fundraiser for them as one idea.
4. Did you know that all associations belong to an association?
That's right. It's called the (you guessed it) the American Association of
Associations Executives. Here is the National URL but every state has a
listing of all non-profit organizations. http://www.asaecenter.org/. Let
them know you can Intern and assist them with their web site and online
promotions.
5. Contact a local interactive media company or marketing company and
let them know you wish to INTERN with them for credit. Explain you wish
to do this on a free-lance basis or for college credit. Many have thinned
down they need to use contractors or interns to get by.
So if you hear 'Not Qualified' again it is really in your hands to change
that. Don't pray for someone to hire you to give you that experience. You
have the knowledge and power to go help someone that needs your skills and
in return you will get the experience you need.
Be careful you don't get taken advantage of though.

Confused by Social Media?
March 1st, 2010 | Author: Victoria
<http://theconfidentcopywriter. >com/author/ admin/
If you've been trying to get in on the conversation on Facebook or Twitter,
but you're left feeling like a wallflower at the prom, welcome to the club.
Social media is no fad (as many once thought). It's here to stay, and must
be integrated into any current or future marketing plan.yes, even for
copywriters. Especially for copywriters! You don't have to become an addict;
just proficient enough to use and benefit from these revolutionary marketing
tools.
Social media is a proactive opportunity to be in the right place at the
right time.when someone needs YOU.
Think of it like this: Your neighbor invites you next door for a party. As
you walk in the door, you see hundreds of other guests. They are clustered
around in groups, heads together, talking quietly about something seemingly
important. You murmur hello and scurry to find the host. You ask her,
"What's everyone buzzing about?" She responds, "Everyone in that room is a
business owner. They all have the same problem.finding a qualified,
professional writer. That's why I invited you!"
I want to go to that party!
Social media networking offers the unprecedented opportunity for one lone
person to begin personal and professional friendships.which lead to
provocative threads of conversation..which lead to creating resources and
individual networks.which lead to in-depth exchanges.that eventually lead to
building off- and online communities.which can achieve big goals: increased
profits, an impact on the greater good, worldwide attention for your
favorite cause, etc.the likes of which has never before been available
without a huge advertising budget.
When combined with other hot tools, like podcasts, videos, 'meetups', or a
newsletter, the results can be even more astounding.
The value of social media is not profits. I can hear you analytical types
right now, wondering how ROI can be measured from these efforts. The value
of social media is "goodwill".and the camaraderie that, since the dawn of
man, has formed the real foundation for success. The profits come later.
Social media is the golf course of the 21st century. And you never get
rained out.

Tongue-tied at Interview Time?
Tips to Tackle Those Tough Questions
By Carol Corbett
Takeaways
ü Brevity is the key to success.
ü Answering through example shows that you have experience.
ü Focus on your key accomplishments.
So you're at a job interview, tissues in your pockets, sweat beading at your
temples, trying not to show how nervous you are, when the dreaded question
comes up; "Why should we hire you?" This is just one of many tough questions
that interviewers are becoming more and more fond of asking. This type of
open-response, or behavioral, question is on the rise because of the insight
if provides the interviewer. Why ask technical or background questions with
straightforward answers that are already contained on your resume? Employers
are looking to find out what makes you tick, why do you stand out in a
crowd? These answers should not be taken lightly, as harmless as the
questions may sound, this is your job on the line and nerves tend to get in
the way of straight thinking.
Give your sweat glands a little break and prepare yourself ahead of time for
this gauntlet of inquiries. First of all, try to calm yourself down; "What's
the worst that could happen?" You won't get the job, you'll have to keep
hunting; perhaps this just wasn't the job for you. There, you've faced the
worst. Now you can move forward. Nerves are something that everyone deals
with, but getting yourself all worked up isn't going to help. So take a deep
breath, prepare as best as you can, and walk in with a smile, ready to give
it your best shot. There are a few basics to keep in mind:
• Brevity is the key to success. Answer concisely; less is often more. The
best interviews have a give and take atmosphere; you should be talking less
than half the time.
• When you answer, look into your interviewer's eyes. This shows that you
are confident and interested in the conversation. But don't stare. Keep a
balance; try looking down or to the side slightly as you think of your
response, this way you appear to be thinking hard and not engaged in a
staring contest.
• Remember your body language. This constitutes much of how another person
reacts to you.
• Sit up straight. The best posture is to keep your feet on the floor with
your back against the chair; leaning forward slightly helps you appear
interested and engaged.
• Speak clearly and directly to your interviewer. Use correct terminology,
and never use slang or swears.
• Take time to gather your thoughts before you blurt out your answer.
• Don't be afraid to say you don't know. No one has all the answers, but be
sure to point out that you are willing and able to find them.
• Try not to fidget.
• Never interrupt.
• Keep your emotions to yourself.
You'll want to answer questions to the fullest of your ability. In order to
do this, think about what you may be asked before the interview and prepare
your answers accordingly. You may even want to set up a practice interview
with a friend or family member to test your skills. It is useful to have a
game plan for answering. I like to use what is called the "STAR" approach.
Do this by describing the
Situation that you were in, or
Task you needed to accomplish
Action you took, focusing on yourself and your skills even if you were in a
group.
Result of your actions, how did everything turn out in the end?
Answering through example shows that you have experience in this area; even
if the outcome was unsuccessful you can relay what you have learned and
display information that is not mentioned in your resume. This approach
works well for most questions, but there will always be exceptions. Here are
five especially difficult ones with some pointers on how to answer them
smoothly and to your benefit.
"Tell me a little about yourself." This is a tricky one. Your interviewer
seems friendly and you are eager to start talking yourself up. Remember that
you want to keep it short, less than two minutes (which you can time out
beforehand). How can you sum up your life story in such a short period? You
don't. That's not what your potential employer wants to hear, no sob
stories, no cute family anecdotes. They want the facts about you and your
job history. Focus on your key accomplishments, strengths that these
demonstrate, and how your background has prepared you for this job. Since
this is such a broad question, it is a good one to script out ahead of time
and its answer can be easily applied to other areas of questioning.
Basically an interview is about selling yourself. Think about how you would
market yourself as a package. What would you "buy" if you were an employer?
"Why did you leave your last job?" Oh, a real toughie, and another
trickster. The big thing now is to remember to stay positive. Whatever your
reason for leaving, try to explain it in the best and most concise way
possible. Whether you were fired, laid off, or just plain quit, paint a
proactive picture showcasing opportunities for growth. Here are a few quick
tips depending on your situation. If you were fired, be honest and quick.
Skip the gory details and show what you've learned from the experience. If
you were laid off, this happens more and more lately, simply explain that
"because of the economy, the company decided to downsize." If you quit,
again be honest and remain positive. Remember to keep emotions out of it,
give the facts and illuminate the benefits you received from each
experience. Never complain about past employers. Whatever the problem, it's
behind you drop it and move forward.
"What are your goals?" Here, your potential employer is looking to see what
kind of a bar you've set for yourself. This is a good place to show how your
skills can be put to good use. Keep your subject job related and realistic.
Discuss what you hope to gain and where you'd like to end up. Don't forget
to mention how this position is going to help you get there. Wrap it up with
a confident statement, such as; "My potential for success is limited only by
how much of myself I dedicate towards my goal." This sounds very lofty, and
alludes to your ability to be self-driven.
"What is your biggest weakness?" Now you are moving into new territory.
Instead of pushing your strengths, they want to know what faults you might
have in your shiny veneer. You are not perfect; tell them why. Pick a
weakness that has upsides, one that you are working on, or have overcome.
Discuss what you do to make up for your weak points. Some good examples: "I
used to procrastinate. Now I set strict schedules and personal deadlines to
keep myself on track," "I have problems remembering names, so I use mnemonic
devises or character traits to help me," "I tend to be a perfectionist.
Sometimes this stresses me out," all of these show that you are human
without popping your bubble.
"Do you have any questions?" YES! As you are talking, you should try to
think of a couple good questions to ask at the end. This shows that you've
been listening and you are truly interested in the position and the company.
You may be too nervous or excited to do this on the spot, so it's good to
have some already in the back of your mind. Questions like: "How do you like
your job here?" "What kind of a scale is used to measure success within the
company?" and "When can I start?" Remember that this interview is about you,
make sure the position and company are what you expected as well as what you
want. Refrain from asking about salary, benefits, or time off. You want to
seem interested in the job, not the perks. These can all be settled at a
later time, after you've secured the position.
With your answers well thought out ahead of time, you'll be ready to go with
the flow and take over the interview room. Preparation is key. Interviewing
is a lot like doing a presentation. You'll need key points, strategy, and
charisma. First impressions count for a lot, so don't forget to dress
appropriately and turn off your cell phone. Know where you are going and
arrive early so you have time to get your thoughts in order. Make it a point
to remember your interviewer's name and use it when you meet him or her.
Bring a crisp copy of your resume just in case any earlier version has been
misplaced. Finally, relax and adapt to the environment. After all, you'll be
spending a lot of time there once you get the job.

How to Answer the "Why Do You Want to Work Here?" Question in a Job
Interview
Sample Job Interview Answers
By Rachel Carpenter (joyful327)
Do you have an upcoming job interview? Are you scouring the internet looking
for advice on how to answer tough job interview questions? More than likely
you will be asked, "Why do you want to work here?", or "Why do you want this
job?" It could also be phrased as, "What motivated you to apply for this
job?"
While it's important to practice your answer, be careful to not recite it
from memory. You want your answer to sound genuine and honest. This question
might help the potential employer determine if you are fit from the job.
Below are some sample answers that might help. Please be sure to practice
your answer with a friend or two. If you are a college graduate, the career
center staff should be happy to help you prepare for a job interview, and
can help you review your answer to this question.
It might also help to search on Youtube for advice videos on how to answer
the question. This video here <http://www.youtube.com/watch? >v=ZHrG0MaNrGo
explains how should do your homework and research the company and convey
your knowledge in the answer.
"Why do you want this job?" Sample Job Interview Answer #1:
I chose to apply for this position because it meets all of the
qualifications I am looking for in a job. I want a job where I can be
creative and work on a team, and this seems to be a great match. After
researching XYZ company, I was very impressed with your services, and feel
that it is something I would be proud to a part of. I truly believe that
that the key to job happiness is to find something that you are passionate
about, and I am truly passionate about XYZ company.
"Why do you want this job?" Sample Job Interview Answer #2
This position is my ideal job because its responsibilities are exactly what
I'm looking for in a job. I want a job where I can (insert job
responsibility here) and (insert second job responsibility here.) I
researched ABC company online and am very impressed with the future projects
you have planned. I desire to work for a company that has a strong
reputation, and I know that ABC company is known for it's quality products.
In addition, I feel that this job fits my personality best.
"Why do you want this job?" Sample Job Interview Answer #3:
I like the reputation that 123 company has in the business community, and I
would be proud to be part of it. I desire to have this position as (insert
job title here) because it will allow me to use my skills such as (insert
skill here) and fits my personality. I like the fact that 123 company has
been around since 1934, and that the job turnover rate is low. From what I
read online, employee morale appears to be high, and it sounds like a great
environment to work in. I feel that this job suits me well, and I would be
thrilled to be a member of the team.
Again, do not recite your answer verbatim. Practice your answer before hand
and ask for advice from friends. (Or, you might even ask for advice on an
online job search forum.) If you are a college graduate, contact the career
center for some job interview assistance.
